The Dickie Toys RC Scania Fire Engine gives young children a perfect introduction to the world of remote control cars. The fire engine is operated by a 3-channel remote control, featuring big buttons and an ergonomic design to make it easy for inexperienced little hands to grasp. The fire engine doesn't just have flashing lights and sound on the remote control, but a push of a button makes the vehicle turn round and round on the spot with its siren sounding. Each driving function has a special sound. To activate the unique warning simulation function you simply push the top left button. When the siren sounds, the fire brigade rushes to the scene of the fire accompanied by the sound of squealing tyres and its nee-naw siren, and ends its emergency mission with the sound of a water extinguisher. The middle button on the remote control also acts as a horn, in case the siren isn't warning enough. But you'll be pleased to know that the sound functions can all be turned off when you need some peace and quiet! The red emergency vehicle can scoot along at up to 3 km/h on a smooth surface. The vehicle is nice and sturdy, so copes perfectly with ill-judged bends and little crashes. This RC toy from Dickie Toys encourages the youngest children to train their coordination and develop an understanding of cause and effect.
